Many many years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth, people on Palm OS fansites reported that the HP books, at least up until Azkaban, were available for purchase in Palm Reader e-book format.

Well, I have never managed to find them, and whatever posts on said forums that had the info seem to have died with time.

I'm gonna ask over there too, but does anybody know the company that sells these, and if they're still around?

Same question! I did a search on Amazon.co.uk but couldn't find anything. Can you get Harry Potter e-books?

Maybe someone in this thread would have an idea?

There were illegal versions released on P2P networks of all five books, however, official rights were never released and hence no legal copy is available for download.

No, because this is not a video game, nor is it remotely related to one. :P Palm Reader is an e-book format. In other words, a means of distributing a book.

Apples and Oranges once again!

Phoenix, from what I understand they were available for purchase specifically for use on Palm Pilots, rather than yet another pirated acrobat deal on a P2P thing. But oh well. If nobody's heard of them here, of all places, I guess they may not exist. Strange that palm fansites used to talk about them though...
